Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
In this study we will implement a protocol that simulates an industry standard 12-hour work shift (with basic computer based office work tasks).

Participants will be randomised initially, to either shift work condition (night shift first or day shift first). Once the first shift is complete there will then be a two week wash out period. Then the second shift will begin.

Both works shifts consist of 3 days of 12 hours (36 hour work week).

Comparator / control treatment
This is a cross over study. Subjects will act as their own controls during the simulated day shift and will be compared to their performance during the simulated nightshift.

Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Each subject will be randomised to the Day or Night Roster first and then crossover to the opposing roster with an intervening 2 week washout. Allocation is not concealed
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomisation will be done on computer via a random number sequence generator
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
